Sounds good for the end user. The only thing I see that could be a problem
pertains to engine authors. From my understanding, open books are hand tuned to
the individual engine because it then leans toward the strengths of the engine
and keeps away from the weaknesses.

If you just use a 2600+ GM .pgn database for an opening book then there
shouldn't be a problem for the average user. But if you plan to do that + feed
your engine a couple million games it has played because you know what are good
winning moves based on it's code, it might not be good for other engines.
